In Her Defence

Ten Landmark Judgments on Women in the Armed Forces

Navdeep Singh and Shivani Dasmahapatra

Few arenas in the annals of legal history have witnessed as profound a transformation as the realm of gender equality within the armed forces.

In Her Defence: Ten Landmark Judgments on Women in the Armed Forces 

is an anthology of essays and commentaries, in layperson terms, contributed by jurists, judges, and academics on landmark constitutional court decisions of

India that made a difference or brought about a positive change for women in the uniformed forces.

Meticulously curated to illuminate the pivotal judgments that have shaped the trajectory of women’s participation in the armed forces of India, this book stands as a cornerstone and embodiment of the judiciary’s unwavering dedication to upholding the principles of equality and justice.

 
EDITORIAL DESIGN/BOOK COVER
Concept & design
In Her Honour
Stories of India’s First Women High Court Judges
By Shruti Bedi & Navdeep Singh

I conceptualised and designed this cover as a layered mixed-media composition. It began with original photography, then took its final form through digital layering, tonal manipulation and watercolour work. The overlapping judicial figures suggest continuity across generations. The restrained monochrome palette and spare typography hold the focus on institutional memory, legal history and the women at the centre of it.
